Chapter 273
Instead of waiting for others to ask, you might as well tell the truth and leave a good impression on the other person.
Eunuch Yi nodded, indicating that he understood, and then walked to the table and chairs specially prepared for him and sat down.
"Eunuch Yi, this is the tea I brewed specially for you. Do you want to try it?"
Yin Qingyan picked up the teacup on the table and held it in front of Eunuch Yi as if she were offering a treasure.
Eunuch Yi had been in the palace for so many years and had never seen or tasted anything good, so he didn't take this cup of tea too seriously. He took it casually and took a sip.
Immediately, as Yin Qingyan expected, Eunuch Yi's eyes suddenly flashed with surprise, and he picked it up again and closed his eyes to taste it carefully for a while.
Yin Qingyan watched Eunuch Yi's actions without saying a word, and just stood silently next to Eunuch Yi, waiting for him to ask.
"What kind of tea is this?"
Grandpa Yi opened his eyes, with an expression of enjoyment on his face.
Yin Qingyan couldn't help but feel a little proud, it seemed that her previous preparations were not in vain.
She had heard before that Grandpa Yi was very fond of drinking tea. Whenever good tea was presented as tribute, the emperor would reward it to Grandpa Yi first, and then Grandpa Yi would select the best tea leaves, and finally brew them for the emperor.
At that time, she had an idea. Since Grandpa Yi loved drinking tea so much, why not use modern tea making and brewing techniques to make him a cup? Even though Grandpa Yi had helped her so many times, she had no idea.
It is better to give in to others than to repay them.
So she relied on the knowledge of the modern tea master qualification certificate, and asked Duan Qing to go to the place most suitable for tea growth and bring back a lot of tea leaves. Then she would select them one by one to dry and package them, and then take them out for brewing when Grandpa Yi came.
system.
"It has no name, but it is picked from a place called Junshan."
Yin Qingyan didn't know where the modern Junshan Silver Needle was from in ancient times, so she could only make nonsense. Even when she asked Duan Qing to look for tea from this place, Duan Qing couldn't figure it out.
Fortunately, that place didn't have a name, so she had to borrow a modern name.
"Well, it must be a good place to grow such good tea."
Eunuch Yi did not delve into it, but picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"That place is just a barren land, and it can't be called a good place."
In fact, Yin Qingyan was very anxious. She urgently wanted to know what news Eunuch Yi was here to deliver, but she couldn't reveal it and could only chat with Eunuch Yi.
But Eunuch Yi seemed to know what Yin Qingyan was thinking. He put down the tea cup, patted the wrinkles on his clothes, and said slowly: "Okay, I know you have long wanted to know what I am doing here. It's not difficult for you. Come here.
sit down."
Eunuch Yi pointed to the empty chair on the other side, motioned for Yin Qingyan to sit down and said.
How could Yin Qingyan dare to sit down and talk? She waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, it's better for me to stand. If there are any instructions from the palace, please tell Eunuch Yi directly."
Eunuch Yi didn't bother with Yin Qingyan about this kind of thing. Seeing that Yin Qingyan really had no intention of sitting down, he continued: "The emperor sent me here to place an order with shopkeeper Yin. I heard that it was used by sister Yu'an Hou.
After receiving Shopkeeper Yin's things, my complexion and condition improved a lot. When the ladies in the palace heard that there were such magical things, they all rushed to get them. The emperor had no choice but to send our family out of the palace to buy them."
When Yin Qingyan heard this, she smiled broadly. It seemed that her hard work for so many days had not been in vain, but she was almost doubting herself.
"But before our family left the palace, Sister Yu'anhou specially told our family that these things are all handmade by Shopkeeper Yin. The cost is extremely high and the shipment is slow. Please let our family be considerate of Shopkeeper Yin and don't make things difficult for Shopkeeper Yin.
"
Not only did Eunuch Yi complete the tasks assigned by the emperor, but he also managed to please the famous people around the emperor. He was very experienced in human relations.
"No, no, why would Eunuch-in-law embarrass a little person like me? How much does it cost for Eunuch-in-law to leave the palace this time?"
Yin Qingyan's words were not only asking Eunuch Yi to purchase and think about inventory, she was also testing the emperor's attitude towards this. Eunuch Yi could represent the emperor to a certain extent, and this was related to her future business path.
Don't be careless.
If the emperor has no objection to this, then her future financial resources will be guaranteed. Sooner or later, she will become stronger and bigger. If the emperor disapproves of these things, then she may have to rethink her future.
.
How could Eunuch Yi not understand the meaning of Yin Qingyan's words? He didn't say it clearly. He just replied: "The emperor asked shopkeeper Yin to make a set for every empress in the palace."
Although Eunuch Yi did not express his attitude directly, the fact that he could speak this way was already a great honor to Yin Qingyan. He was secretly reminding Yin Qingyan that the emperor still needs to conduct further inspections and not to be impatient.
Yin Qingyan immediately understood what Eunuch Yi said. Although the big stone in her heart did not fall, it was not blocked in her chest. Sometimes, not expressing one's stance is the best attitude.
"Please don't worry, father-in-law. I'm going to ask someone to count the inventory and let Father-in-law take away all the goods that have just been produced in the past two days. As for the rest, please allow me a few days."
There was excitement in Yin Qingyan's words, and she was ready to do something big.
"Well, I'd like to trouble Shopkeeper Yin to be more careful. I'll do it as quickly as possible. As for the price, Shopkeeper Yin naturally doesn't have to worry about it. The emperor sent me out of the palace this time to allow a lot of money. I'll have people carry it in right now. Yin
The shopkeeper will see if there is enough. If not, I will send someone back to get it."
When she heard about the silver, Yin Qingyan was a hundred times more excited than before. Naturally, the silver given by the palace would not be less. After all, it also symbolized the royal dignity. This was why she did not bid for it just now.
As soon as Eunuch Yi finished speaking, a large number of guards came in carrying boxes at the door.
One box, two boxes, three boxes, four boxes...
There were a total of twenty boxes. Yin Qingyan's eyes were straight, staring at these boxes without moving, and she almost shed tears.
She knew that the royal family must be generous, but she didn't expect it to be so generous, and now it really took off.
"Open them all for Shopkeeper Yin to take a look at."
Seeing that the boxes were being moved, Eunuch Yi gave an order, and the guards opened the lids of the boxes in unison.
At this moment, Yin Qingyan couldn't control herself anymore. Her legs and feet went weak, and she almost knelt down on the ground. Fortunately, Guanyue at the side saw that her expression was wrong, so she quickly bypassed the guard blocking Yin Qingyan and caught her in time.
"Hey, little master, can you make a living? I've lost all my face, and it's just money..."
Although Guanyue said this, she couldn't move her eyes away when she saw the boxes of money, and she couldn't hold her tongue straight.
